Yesterday, on Hannity, re Kerry's comments on world leaders

[Fuzz]

I had the radio on for a bit while cooking dinner and a caller was real upset about Kerry saying he met with world leaders who told him they wanted him to win. Sean apparently thinks he has caught Kerry in a HUGE lie and demands that he tell us all who these leaders are.

So the caller is extremely angry and says, and I'm paraphrasing as best as I can; "I have a different take on this issue. Kerry is a senator. He works for US! He is paid with our tax dollars. He OWES it to us to tell us who he meets with and what those meetings are about! He says 'it's a secret', but it's not a secret when he works for us! This is just so wrong."

Hannity says a couple things and ends it with "Good call, thanks."

Um, Cheney, energy meetings, hello?

:wtf:

1. 9/11 inquiry..............

same thing, Valerie Plame outing, same thing. Yeah, Republicans are in NO position to demand answers to burning topics like this.

[Gman]

2. They are so obsessed

they don't even realize what they are saying.

Kerry's strong; like Kerry's gonna spill his guts just because Hannity thinks he should.

[charlie105]

3. What are they gonna say today?

Now that the Boston Globe reporter has made it clear that Keryy said 'more' leaders, not 'foreign' leaders. Rush and Hannity were frothing at the mouths yesterday at this so-called breach in national security by Kerry.

9. They will say whatever it takes - don't confuse them w facts

The ideological agenda is all that matters.

They will probably take this admission by the Boston Globe reporter and twist it. . .something along the lines of "Now the reporter says he got it wrong, but Kerry never denied it! JK is a liar!" or something like that.

[Mistress Quickly]

11. Why didn't Kerry say he was misquoted?

flame away, but Kerry could have stopped this last week, or whenever the hell it started. He's allowing them to frame him as a liar, and he needs to stop it. He is being drowned out by the screeching of the right.

14. Maybe he is waitining until they amass a huge pile of rope.

Kerry can then work the rebuttal to show numerous lies and misinformation and hang the Bush administration as well as the RW media whores.

[Mistress Quickly]

17. uh huh, sure

I hear this arguement from the reicht, when they say Bush is going to stop spending this year, just in time for the elections, to help them out and win the election - meanwhile, he spends away, all for the next generationS to pay off!!!

[PA-DEM]

4. Drinking the Kool-Aid

I was thinking the same thing when I heard that lady say that. This just points out the dishonesty of Hannity that he didnt even comment about Cheney or Bush stonewalling. These people have drinken so much of the RW Kool-Aid that they cannot even realize how dumb there points are.

[snippy]

5. It would be Bush league diplomacy to reveal the identity of someone

who said something in confidence. Lacking any honor or integrity, Cheney, Powell, McClellan and and all the other members of the Bush administraion are confounded when someone behaves with honor and integrity. Kerry is not some dishonorable cowboy. Kerry should point out that it is the Bush administration which relishes revealing confidential identities. Even when it is a felony.

Edit: It is apparent that everyone, even the most ardent Bush supporter, knows that Bush would do the dishonorable thing and breach a confidence if he were in the same situation.

6. Is this a real issue?

Is this suppose to be a issue? Is this suppose to make me go out and vote for Bush in November? To me it's just silly. :silly:

[snippy]

10. It is an attempt to make Kerry appear nearly as dishonest as Bush.

Which is impossible of course. There has never been a more compulsive and incessant liar in Washington, DC than Bush.

Welcome to DU.

[Monte Carlo]

7. Kerry's a Democrat, that's all Sean knows.

They're all evil.

Hannity and others are trying hard to make this into a big deal. Kerry's not biting.

[Ganja Ninja]

8. Someone tell Hannity that it doesn't matter who the leaders are...

If they support the unelected fraud their people will vote them out just like in Spain.

[cmayer]

12. How about this as a response?

Why is it that the Bush administration insisists on getting a list of names of leaders that oppose them? Would it be a concern for those leaders if they were found on the list?

That should come from surrogates of course, not the candidate.

[PA Democrat]

15. All Bush needs to do

is read the newspapers if he wants to know who does not support him. This from today's Chicago Sun-Times:


Spanish leader blasts U.S. policy

March 16, 2004

BY GEIR MOULSON

MADRID, Spain -- Spain's incoming prime minister launched a verbal attack on President Bush on Monday and pledged to bring Spanish troops home from Iraq unless the United Nations takes control there.

Of, wait, that's right Bush doesn't READ newspapers.

13. I see the RW is busy pumping out those talking points

I heard that too while driving home yesterday.

This morning I listened to Neal Boortz, who is on the exact same page.

They are trying to box Kerry in as a liar.

"See!!! Look at us!! We caught him in a lie!!!!

I'm so tempted to call in and tell them what real lies are.

"Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction. We know where they are."

[RandomKoolzip]

16. Somebody please point me in the direction of

any article in the Nation or Mother Jones (or even more mainstrem publications) which discusses Bush's foreign policy after 9/11 and which does NOT mention the ill will most foreign (or "more;" take your pick, grammar be damned) leaders have towards Bush. Does this mean that those writers should have to "cough" up names for Sean "Monobrow" Hannity? I'd do it for him, but to have to list the names of EVERY leader of EVERY foreign country in the world (except Mauritius and Togo) will take a LOT of time.

Let's just be fair and say, "The whole world wants Bush gone from office, except 80% of the American media, 97% of all multinationals' CEOs, certain pockets of resistance in the American South, most fundamentalist Christians, and Bush's own family (which is debatable even then.)" So that's maybe 1 million people, more or less, compared to 8,999,000,000 people. You would have to be a blind, deaf, willingly obtuse autistic one-celled organism NOT TO SEE the hatred the rest of the world feels toward Bush. Think about it: this fucker can't even step foot outside the White House without being protested, much less visit London (captital of his supposed closest ally.)

The controversy over this is ridiculous. Like when Kerry called the Bushbots "lying" and "corrupt." What should have been a total "No Shit!" moment for everyone became a repeat of the Superbowl halftime show for a few days.

Republicans are the biggest bunch of lying, corrupt hypocrites the world has ever known. They know it too, but are comfortable living in denial; they are addicted to denial.
